THE TOP PANEL
The FC-12 is shown here. The FC-6 is identical except for the number of switches and the width/weight of the unit.
Chassis — The FC is housed in a rugged steel chassis. A pair of protective end caps also serve as feet and
provide a convenient gap to lift the unit from the floor.
FC-12 Dimensions: 20.2″ x 9.2″ x 3.5″ (512mm x 233mm x 88mm). Weight: 11 lbs (5 kg)
FC-6 Dimensions:11.2″ x 9.2″ x 3.5″ (283mm x 233mm x 88mm). Weight: 6.7 lbs (3 kg)
Main Display — The main display is a 2×20 transflective character display that remains highly legible under
a variety of adverse lighting environments. The main display shows the name of the current preset (and
optionally its number) and the name of the current scene (and optionally its number) as well as various other
useful pieces of information when you activate a switch, select a layout, and so on.
Footswitches — Footswitches are the main attractions of any foot controller. The switches on the FC
Controller use our proprietary Solid State Switching (SSS™) technology. They feature extremely smooth,
quiet, action, and have no mechanical contacts to fail. Each footswitch can be assigned your choice of one
Tap and/or one press-and-hold (“Hold”) function, and these can be different on every “layout”. A layout is like
a “page” of switches, and there are 8 different layouts you can switch freely between, plus one special layout
called the “Master Layout Menu”. Learn more in Section 4: Layouts & Switches, on p. 11.
